ABOUT US

A Firm that Means Business

Our Firm was established to provide the Depth & Sophistication of big firm counsel on a Cost Effective basis

Hedge Funds, Securities, Investment Management

Overview

We advise clients on a broad range of investment management, securities law and corporate matters. We have extensive experience representing hedge funds and private equity funds in organizing and structuring private investment vehicles in both the U.S. and off-shore jurisdictions. Our clients also include SEC and state registered investment advisers, commodity pool operators, commodity trading advisors, broker dealers, introducing brokers, and exempt reporting advisers. The firm takes a holistic approach to fund formation, examining a range of variables, including investor profile, strategy focus, liquidity expectations, tax and regulatory compliance issues into consideration to collaboratively work with each manager to determine optimal fund structure. The full description of the fund formation process can be found here.

We have comprehensive knowledge of various compliance issues, including Regulation D offerings and other capital raises, soft dollars, fiduciary duties, performance advertising, general solicitation, new issues, policies and procedures manuals and best practices, employment issues and general corporate and securities matters. We counsel on legal issues arising under the Investment Advisers Act, the Investment Company Act, the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act, the Commodity Exchange Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Big Firm Experience with Boutique Attention

We offer the experience and sophistication of big firm counsel with the responsiveness, in-depth knowledge and continuity of a small team of attorneys. We understand that the fund formation and offering process can be difficult to understand. The alternative investment industry landscape is complex and rapidly changing. We stay abreast of all relevant regulatory changes in the space and inform our clients of these changes in a timely and easy to understand manner.

Flat Fee Transparent Pricing

We understand that cost control is particularly important at the early stages of any business’ development. Therefore, on many matters, we offer clients the certainty of a fixed flat fee, with clarity as to the services that will be provided under such agreement.
